      It can be a bit hazardous. You want to loosen the strings before doing this. If you've ever had a guitar string break, you know that it can be pretty unpleasant when it hits exposed skin. I once had a piano string go through my hand during a pitch raise. It went straight through like a hypodermic needle. It wasn't as serious as I thought it was (it's quite distressing when you realize something has gone through a part of your body even if the damage isn't that bad.). If you do want the joy of clipping a fully tuned piano (it IS fun and you DO have to get them off for restringing), I recommend doing it from behind the capot. The strings can't really hit you from there.

    I like this idea so much it's different and cool. People trying to push the limits is what made instruments in the first place. My advice is to contact a guitar strings manufacturer and have them send you proper length strings for your piano then contact your tuner guy to tune the piano make another video. With proper length strings you might not get that hyper vibration that you got playing certain notes. I think it sounded cool and I think many people would like to see you revisit this idea.

      Same. It took me about 10 seconds to notice the change in language. I guess it was also partially because of the casual way they were speaking, and that it was with the same accent that they used while speaking English.

      also when he said the whole piano tuning world had seen your video I let out a big laugh! Not surprised, I'm not in the tuning world and I want to share your videos, too. I'm amused that in all these videos with him I don't think you've ever said his name?

    I wonder if there are any string manufacturers that would actually indulge with your experiment and create strings long enough to be properly mounted on the piano to create a clear sound without knots and a full stringboard?

    What makes it most appealing is the fact that it carries the tune of a western polka piano style sound while still preserving the sound of a piano in the keystrokes. it honestly sounded better before with fine tuning than having the pro come in lol.

    I think by now you've garnered enough attention in the guitar world to have a company custom make some strings long enough to fit in a piano. why don't you contact jared dines to see if you guys can get a string company to make send you some long guitar and bass strings to fit in your piano? I've seen a company make extremely thick strings all for the sake of extended ranges, this one should be an interesting project for them.
